Ryan Adams - Nobody Listens To Silence lyrics

Nobody listens to silence like your girl Whitening margins Mouthing the words Letters flying fast Turning into words Sweeping the floor Making room Pulling up the carpet Staples and all The newspapers underneath And over shards of broken gla** Pushed up into the corner with your foot Just in case your girl got up and Decided to dance Gave you a moment to collect yourself Took your hand and awake with the second guess You lose your spot In your long line of losses No second chances and Your dreams go sweaty and your brow Enter the pit with no bottom under it While she f**s him like a f**ing machine Greased to the bolts till the bolts come up And her dress goes slam torn from the seam to her leg Listenin to her saying it's name and beg Nobody listens to silence like your girl Without your ear to the door and eye to the keyhole And into the floor smashed like a train on the side of a bridge Suitcase burning orange lines over the underpa** People on the telephones And people to answer Hair dye smudged on the sides of the tub All bets of the years On the crest of her forehead her mother used to kiss And you got to school you're broken up Your signal went static And your k**er confessed Your soda went flat And your arm went numb And you smoked until your voice went all stinking and rough And bugs in the kitchen So f** between the lines Looking for the highlights She loves him like her man Smoking cigarettes with him On the edge of the bed Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence
